They do their job.
If the ball is in fair territory, the fact that the fielder is standing in foul territory does NOT make the ball foul. the same as if a ball is foul, the fielder standing in fair territory doesn't make the ball fair.
You can foul someone whether you or them have the ball. If you make "illegal contact" with another player its a foul.
It doesn't make a difference how high the ball is if it's in foul territory just as long as one of the players catches the ball.
If you make both your ball and the opponent's ball in pool, it is considered a foul and your opponent gets to place the cue ball anywhere on the table.
Yes, it is considered a foul in pool if a player has the ball in hand and accidentally scratches while trying to make a shot.
In rounders, a foul occurs when a batter hits the ball but it does not land within the designated play area or when they fail to make a legitimate attempt to hit the ball. If the ball is hit and goes outside the boundary lines without touching the ground, it is also considered a foul. Foul balls do not count as strikes, but if a player accumulates three strikes, they are out. Additionally, a player cannot be put out on a foul ball unless it is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground.
Reaching in is not a foul. The term is nowhere to be found in any rulebook. There must be contact to have a foul. The mere act of reaching in, by itself, is nothing. If contact does occur, it's either a holding foul or an illegal use of hands foul. When a player, in order to stop the clock, does not make a legitimate play for the ball, holds, pushes or grabs away from the ball, or uses undue roughness, the foul is an intentional foul.

1st use a glove If no glove is available make sure that as you catch the ball move your hand in the direction the ball is moving there by increasing the time it take for the ball to decelerate
The "fairness" of the ball depends on the rules in that particular stadium. In the 2004 playoffs a ball hit the catwalk in Houston in fair territory and was caught in fair territory, but was ruled foul, because of the rules at minute maid park. On the other hand in Minnesota, a ball atriking the catwalk is automatically fair whether it lands in fair territory or not.
In football, it is legal to take the ball out of someone's hands if you make a clean tackle and do not commit a foul.
No, a player cannot intentionally blow a fair ball to make it go foul. Once a ball is in play and fair, the outcome is determined by its trajectory and interaction with the field. Players can only influence the ball's direction through their actions, such as hitting or fielding, but not by external means like blowing. If a player interferes with the ball in such a manner, it could lead to penalties or a dead ball situation.
